Style Request: Clinical Handbook of Neurology
They ask for the Harvard Elsevier style which works well, however, they want the authors in the bibliography to be abbreviated as well, with a limit of 3 authors and "et al." for anything more.
get us all the info and we'll have a look at some stage.
Handbook of Clinical
Neurology 3rd series
Page 3 has a 'Details of Reference Style' heading.
Under the subheading Reference List it says:
The list should be typed in alphabetical order of the first authors' names. The order should follow the Harvard style with
MINIMAL PUNCTUATION (not the numbered Vancouver style).
Farther down, same page b) says: For references with three or more authors (which should be referred to as 'et al.' in the text),
only three names should be given in the reference list, followed by et al."
Read the guide again and for comparison see how another user did it: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/65041/style-request-taylor-francis-applied-spectroscopy-reviews#latest
(on a sidenote, we do this in our free time, if you want somebody spend their free time for you, respect them and actually read if somebody replies ;) )

Thanks!

Have a read again, we request the two example citations given (by Campbell and Mares) to be adapted, not just random citations. We need that as a base to work.
Also no ISSN etc was given... Please read again step by step.
Hi,
Just looking back at this.
Could you give a link to the guidelines? I can't find them anywhere. Alternatively could you send over a pdf if you have one? I'll need it to create the style, but also for future reference as a documentation link needs to be included in the style.
Furthermore, you say it should only have 3 authors in the reference list, but then one of the examples you give has more than three (Chaichana, K.L., McGirt, M.J., Niranjan, A., Olivi, A., Burger, P.C., Quinones-Hinojosa, A., 2009....).
the style is ready, just need a few more pieces of info.
Best,
damnation
Details of Reference Style
References in the text
We use the Harvard style for references (name, date), e.g., see Davidson (1982), or (Davidson, 1982; Tanner, 1983).
When reference is made to a work by two authors, both names should be given. For three or more authors use the form ‘Smith et al. (1982)’ or ‘(Smith et al., 1982)’.
If two or more references are cited together, they should be in chronological order. If several papers by the same author(s) and from the same year are cited, a, b, c should be included after the year, e.g. (Smith, 1982 a, b).
Cite “personal communications’ and ‘unpublished work’ in the text only, not in the reference list.
When a work is cited as being ‘in press’, the (expected) year, authors’ names, full title of the article and the name of the journal should be given in the reference list.
Reference list
The list should be typed in alphabetical order of the first authors’ names. The order should follow the Harvard style with minimal punctuation (not the numbered Vancouver style):
(a) The order is determined alphabetically first, and then, if the authors names are the same, chronologically.
(b) For references with three or more authors (which should be referred to as ‘et al.’ in the text), only three names should be given in the reference list, followed by et al., and these references should be arranged chronologically.
Authors whose names include ‘Van,’ ‘De,’ ‘Von,’ etc. will be listed under V or D in the reference list.
The references should include the titles of articles in journals and of chapters in books, where possible.
Journal references should be given as follows:
Example:
Chen R, Gerloff C, Classen J, et al (1997). Safety of different inter-train intervals for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and recommendations for safe ranges of stimulation parameters. Electroencephalogr Clin Neurophysiol 105: 415-421.
The journal title should be abbreviated according to List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus or Chemical Abstracts: Bibliographic Guide for Editors and Authors.
Monographs should be given as follows:
Example:
Spehlmann R (1981). EEG Primer. Elsevier, Amsterdam, pp. 262-284.
Multi-author volumes should be given as follows:
Example:
Dani SU (1997). Mechanisms of aging: a survey. In: SU Dani, A Hori, GF Walter (Eds.), Principles of Neural Aging. Elsevier, Amsterdam, pp. 5-17.
References to work ‘in press’ should be as complete as possible.
Web references – citing and listing
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last accessed. Any further information, if known (author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.

under author.
The style should be on the repository when you see this post here and you can find the style here: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:handbook-of-clinical-neurology
Could you clarify one thing? In your second post you talked about a "webpage" where we could find the guidelines. You did mean that .docx you sent and not a webpage, right?
(the style is also available now, by the way)
